My thoughts beat against my fingertips <br />Held prisoner in my mind <br /> <br />My mouth always stays shut <br />My tongue held captive by its power <br /> <br />Words gargle in my throught <br />Hostage to sounds revoked <br /> <br />Limbs I dare not move <br />Afraid of what they may do <br /> <br />I'm in a prison of my own making <br />Bars made of unsaid words <br />And the wardens are my taboo thoughts <br /> <br />If only I knew how to let them go <br />Be free and just let me be me <br />I guess we'll just have to see what I make of this <br /> <br />My life- long sentence <br />In this prison of my own making<br /><br />Ashley Stone<br /><br />http://www.poemhunter.com/poem/a-prison-of-my-own-making/
